But whether all, or each, or none of these
May be the hoarder's principle of action,
The fool will call such mania a disease:—
What is his own? Go—look at each transaction,
Wars, revels, loves—do these bring men more ease
Than the mere plodding through each "vulgar fraction?"
Or do they benefit Mankind? Lean Miser!
Let spendthrifts' heirs inquire of yours—who's wiser?
